Harriet Walter will be joined by actors including Juliet Stevenson, Leah Harvey, Meera Syal, MyAnna Buring, Olivia Williams and violinist Lizzie Ball for a theatrical adaptation of her book at The Old Vic.
The performance of Walter’s She Speaks! What Shakespeare’s Women Might Have Said will see verse, sonnets and prose brought to life in a new way on Thursday, March 6.
Walter said: “I worship Shakespeare… but the mirror that he held up to Nature reflected a predominantly male image of the world. I pondered the long shadow of his genius and tried to think of ways to let a little sunlight in on some of his women’s stories. I like to think he wouldn’t mind.”
The event is curated and directed by Cedering Fox, WORDTheatre founder and artistic director.
